Letters Patent No. 109,209, datedv November 15, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN SPOOL-STANDS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

ment and construction of a spools'tand,.as hereinafter described, itsobject being to hold spools withdilerent kinds of thread, beside othersmall implements, such as pins, needles, scissors, zc.

Figure l is a front elevation, and Figure 2 a top view, showing `one ol'the shelves swung out.

,In the construction of my improved device- #a represents the base ofthemachine, wuhich is supplied with the requisite draw b, said base a beingconnected with the cushion e by means of the posts c c.

Upon one of said posts e are located and swing the shelves d d, whichare supplied with the required wires or pins, upon which the spools ofthread are' placed and operated.

The improved device being thus constructed is then ready for use. Theoperator swings out the required shelfcl, replenislies the busy needlewith the kindand color of thread as sho desires. She then replaces theshelf' 1l. bac-'k into its .former position under the cushion e. Thus itwill be seen the device affords a drawer, b, for scissors, thimble, andother small implements of ruse; thc. swinging shelves d 11, fordifferent kinds of thread; and the cushion e, for needles and pins, withemery in its embrace, to lkeep the needles bright and clean from rust;thus furnishing one of the most desirable, serviceable, convenient, anduseful inventions for this particular purpose, to wit, a spool-standthat can' be found, being both useful and ornamental.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

A spool-stand and work-table implement-holder, consisting of frame o,drawer b, cushion e, and swingin g spool-supporting` shelves d (l, allarranged as shown.
